7 months ago Hi @lgabor85 it is because you cannot uninstall modules in the path
Directory: C:\Program Files\WindowsPowerShell\Modules
from Powershell Core. These modules can only be uninstalled by windows Powershell. Try to start a windows Powershell terminal from vscode

To me it looks like that the cmdlet doesn`t work properly in PWSH7/Core edition. Maybe it was related to me being logged in to my Azure account in VSCode PWSH at the time.
Description
As discussed here, the cmdlet Update-AzModule will install the latest Az modules but not remove older versions when it is run in a VSCode integrated terminal, even if run with admin privileges.
If run in a separate, elevated windows terminal, the cmdlet executes as expected and replaces the old versions with the latest.
